Marsilea Hirsuta is a species of fern that is native to Australia. It a unique plant, as its leaves resemble a four-leaf clover. After a transitional period it develops different types of leaves, possibly a low form with single leaves like a large Glossostigma, or alternatively develop two, three, or four-lobed leaves varying in height, depending on the growth conditions.  When grown under medium to high light conditions, it stays low growing and spreads horizontally quicker.
